MP5516N

MP5516N

Wide 2.65V to 16V Input, 6A, High-Efficiency, Power Loss Protection PMIC with Integrated E-Fuse

Description

The MP5516N is a monolithic power management system designed to manage energy storage and backup release in enterprise solid-state drives (SSDs). It integrates a current-limited, reverse-current protected input power switch (e-fuse), an autonomous buck-boost energy storage and release converter, and storage capacitance (C_STRG) health monitoring.

The configurable storage voltage (V_STRG), backup release, and system output bus voltages enable flexible design. An onboard analog-to-digital converter (ADC) provides real-time monitoring of many power system parameters via the I²C.

The configurable input current limit switch (I_{LIMIT_E-FUSE}) limits inrush current during system start-up. Reverse-current blocking prevents backup energy from flowing to the failing input source. The energy storage/release converter’s configurable switching frequency (f_SW) and charging current optimizes the external component value and size tradeoffs in design.

Seamless energy release transition is achieved using the internal logic. Constant-on-time (COT) control in the buck topology ensures steady regulation during energy release. The buck-boost energy storage/release converter requires only a single inductor to operate.

Onboard multiple-time programmable (MTP) memory allows the user to store system operating parameters specific to a product assembly, such as the input current (I_IN) limit, capacitor health check start and stop values, and discharge current. These parameters can be adjusted in system through the I²C interface. The onboard 8-bit ADC can be used to monitor the input voltage (V_IN) and I_IN in real time.

The MP5516N requires a minimal number of readily available, standard external components, and is available in a QFN-25 (4mmx4mm) package.
